Elden Ring: Greatshields Tier List

Among the mage armors in Elden Ring , Azur's Glintstone Set is one of the best options for dealing with enemies and bosses who wield Lightning damage. This armor is particularly valued by magic builds, not only for its strong defense, but also for its striking appearance, highlighted by a large green glintstone on the helmet and several smaller ones on the shoulders. Additionally, the set's crown increases the damage of powerful spells such as Comet Azur, Glintstone Cometshard, and Comet (at the cost of increased


The Fire Monk Set set is similar enough to the Blackflame Monk set. In fact, it looks like the orange or red variant of that armor. The stats are also somewhat similar between the two sets except the Fire Monk set gets the edge here a bit, especially in physical mitigat


Not every Tarnished will be capable enough to put on the entire Bull-Goat Set in Elden Ring , as it is by far the heaviest armor in the original game, granting the highest Poise value and unparalleled physical defense. It is also quite potent when facing fire-damaging enemies, although one might consider better options with lesser wei

For those of you who can resist instant gratification and want to reap more rewards later on, talking to Yura instead of killing him when you encounter him north of Murkwater is the better deal overall. Finishing his questline will not only reward the Nagakiba but will also lead to unlocking other weapons and items such as:


The Royal Knight Set is a late-game armor that has goofy legs, so it's understandable if it's not that appealing as a fashion option. Stat-wise, the armor is pretty decent for something that doesn't weigh too much. It has well-rounded defenses

The first two are actually projections of Morgott (going under the guise of Margit the Fell), and do not drop his Great Rune. The real Morgott the Omen King can only be found at the end of the Leyndell, Royal Capital legacy dungeon.

Once defeated, players can then enter the Divine Tower of East Altus and use the elevator to reach the top. There, they will find the Great Rune activation spots for both Morgott's and Mohg's Great Runes side by side.


To obtain the full Fire Prelate Set, players need to hunt for Prelate enemies in Elden Ring . It is recommended to boost one's Arcane stats for better results (players can use the Silver Tear Mask that increases Arcane by +8), or use the Silver Scarab Talisman or Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot . The best farming spots for this set are Fort Laeidd in Mt. Gelmir and Guardians' Garrison in the Mountaintops of the Gia


Fire and Souls games have always had a successful marriage. And despite Fire being but a mere mistress in Elden Ring , it's still a rather important mechanic in the game. Fire damage is no joke, and it can easily catch an overconfident Tarnished off-guard. Anything from the Magma Wyrm boss or even the dragons to those torch-wielding commoner enemies is bound to add fuel to the f


It's not just good armor against Magic but also when fighting enemies that love to burn their victims. The Preceptor's Set is Preceptor Seluvis' armor. Despite being mere cloth, it's actually a great countermeasure against elemental and magic damage in Elden Ri

Golden Beast Crest Shield : For a shield that just requires 24 Strength to wield, and only weighs 12.5, the Golden Beast Crest Shield is a great option for builds that don't specialize in Strength . While its affordability is a plus, its stats are rather modest among Greatshields and don't particularly stand out. Still, its elegant design makes it a great match for some of the most stunning heavy armor knight sets in Elden Ri


It doesn't help that Miquella's Haligtree is room after room of death traps where players are funneled into gank fights and narrow pathways. Overall, it's an area that seems to have been made to annoy players rather than test their late-game skills. That's quite disappointing considering the effort needed to unlock this pl

It's quite the long and perilous journey to traverse the difficult Leyndell, Royal Capital after players have entered the city's walls. Once you make it to the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace, exit a door to the Southwest and hop down to the right, onto an old horse stable.

After the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the Verdigris Set has earned its place among the heaviest armor sets available in Elden Ring . With its very high weight, it provides maximum Poise and physical defense. The armor also boasts some of the best fire resistance in the game, making it a top choice for melee tank builds that prioritize high defense and an intimidating appearance. Additionally, the Verdigris Set features the highest Robustness of any armor in the g
